No one disputes that quantum phenomena, if they could be harnessed, would revolutionize information processing, enabling ways of computing that no existing computer, even in principle, would be capable of duplicating.
Many explain away quantum phenomena with weasel words, or worse, they simply eschew explanation altogether.
True, quantum phenomena cannot be observed directly.

Today’s dynamic complexity, in which a science-based, fast-changing global economy makes so many more phenomena interdependent, prevents us from foreseeing the future through linear extrapolations of the past.
First, the measured mass of the Higgs boson renders the full theory “metastable” in the absence of any new physics phenomena.
There are several examples of the kind of phenomena that, with the benefit of new insight, could lead to unexpected energy sources.
That historical anecdote might elicit a sardonic chuckle from those who remember their high-school mathematics, but around the world non-experts are increasingly being called upon to formulate public policy that requires an understanding of subtle and complex scientific and technological phenomena.
And, precisely because nationalism shapes the way we think, its role in phenomena that do not trumpet their nationalist motivation – like Al Qaeda’s attacks in 2001 – can easily be overlooked.
